Zian Flemming scored two of their goals, but the real drama was saved for deep into stoppage-time when Lyle Foster bagged their dramatic last-gasp winner, sparking incredible scenes of celebration.
The result makes it back-to-back league wins for the Clarets, who are now finally up and running on their travels having previously suffered four straight defeats.
It also moves Parker’s side onto 10 points after nine games, matching the one point per game average normally required to seal safety at the end of the season.
While there’s a long, long way to go, Opta forecasts now state the Clarets will finish the season above the dropzone.
Wolves, who remain without a win, are predicted to finish bottom ahead of West Ham, who were beaten by Leeds United on Friday night.
